For independent milk frothing (without espresso extraction), touch the "Double Cappuccino" button for approximately 5 seconds. You can still adjust the froth level during this process.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life of your espresso machine and ensure optimal coffee quality.

Daily Cleaning

• Drip Tray: Empty and clean the detachable drip tray daily. The float cover indicates when it needs emptying.
• Milk Reservoir: After each use, empty any remaining milk. The milk reservoir is dishwasher safe, but the milk reservoir lid is not dishwasher safe. Clean the milk frothing tube thoroughly.
• Portafilter and Filter Baskets: Remove used coffee grounds and rinse the portafilter and filter baskets under warm water.
• Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

Descaling

Over time, mineral deposits can build up in the machine, affecting performance. Descale your machine regularly, depending on your water hardness and frequency of use (e.g., every 2-3 months).

• Use a commercial descaling solution specifically designed for espresso machines, following the manufacturer's instructions.
• Alternatively, a solution of white vinegar and water (1:1 ratio) can be used.
• Run the descaling solution through the machine as if brewing coffee, then rinse thoroughly by running several cycles of clean water.
